TRIGA (Training, Research, Isotopes, General Atomics) is a class of nuclear research reactor designed and manufactured by General Atomics. The design team for TRIGA, which included Edward Teller, was led by the physicist Freeman Dyson. Multiple variants of the reactor have been built, with a total of 66 having been installed across 24 different countries. The reactors have constant thermal power outputs ranging from 0.1-16 MW and can be pulsed to 22,000 MW.
